Lessons from the Sales POP! Podcast
Introduction: Podcasting is an essential marketing tool for businesses, offering a unique way to build trust, expand audience reach, and form deeper connections with customers. Pipeliner CRM’s SalesPOP! launched its podcast in 2018 and, after producing over 1,600 episodes, we’re sharing our most valuable lessons to help others succeed in their podcasting efforts.

A good podcast delivers insightful, relevant content in a format that’s easy to consume. At SalesPOP!, we prioritize covering essential topics such as leadership, sales strategies, and personal development. By offering a comprehensive view of these subjects, our podcast stands out and provides real value to listeners.
Understanding Our Audience:
While our podcast originally targeted sales professionals, we quickly realized its appeal extended beyond that niche. Our content resonates with a wider audience, including leaders and entrepreneurs from diverse industries. With over 13 million sales professionals in the U.S. alone, our reach is broad, enhanced by our global approach.

SalesPOP!’s international scope sets us apart. With deep roots in both American and European cultures, we bring diverse perspectives to our podcast. Additionally, by integrating Pipeliner CRM into our process, we manage our podcast with efficiency, ensuring timely content and a seamless experience for guests and listeners alike.
Incorporating AI in Podcasting:
We utilize AI to offer personalized content that meets the specific preferences of our listeners. Through advanced features like transcription, speech-to-text, and language translation, AI helps us expand accessibility and customize content delivery. AI also automates the creation of show notes, summaries, and social media materials, enhancing the overall listener experience.
Strategies for Podcast Growth:
Growing a podcast requires consistency and dedication. At SalesPOP!, we rely on a combination of marketing techniques, including community engagement, social media promotion, and branded short-form content. Success in podcasting comes from a sustained commitment to quality and staying true to your authentic voice.
Final Thoughts:
Starting a podcast is an exciting journey. Instead of focusing solely on view counts, prioritize delivering valuable content and continuously improving your show. SalesPOP!’s podcast has enriched our lives through powerful conversations, and we encourage you to dive into podcasting and enjoy the experience it brings.
